Campus Program
Online Program
At AMS we are committed to protecting the health and wellness of all our students, families, and staff. We are also committed to providing a rigorous education, whether it be online or in person. That’s why for the 2020-2021 school year, you choose AMS your way. Parents can choose between our online program or on-campus program.
Campus Program
Traditional AMS classroom and learning model with enhanced preventative measures for health and safety.
Campus Program Highlights
No change to the traditional AMS academic program. Students report to classes Monday-Friday as per the previous year. Wednesdays will be half days, except for schools in Tucson.
Before and after-school care options will be offered like usual and will be designed to provide students a mixture of academic and physically enriching activities and homework help.
In order to limit the contact between large groups of students within AMS, we will not be able to offer club selections and sports through October 2nd.
Class size reduction may occur as some students will select the online option.
Online Program
100% online distance learning.
Online Program Highlights
AMS online student schedules will match the on-campus program. That means that daily attendance to online classes is required and students attend each period as they would in the on-campus program.
In order to make our online program feel as much like our normal campus program, a uniform will be required during class times. This requirement will keep the students in their regular routine and aid in mental health during this uncertain time.
All learning is a group effort between parents and teachers, but online learning is especially so. Parents will be required to designate an adult at home as a “learning coach” for their student. The at home “learning coach” will work directly with the teacher to assist in keeping the student focused on learning.
